HOW PALMER FOUND EUROPE
A Discouraging Situation France Un
popular Like the United States.
Maj. Frederick Palmer, war correspondent,-writer
and lecturer, has re
turned from a six months' tour through
France, Knjrland. Italy, Poland, tier
many, Austria and Hungary.
"The chief interest in Kurojie. to
day," said Maj. Palmer, "centers in
ItiiM.is and (lermany. France is un
popular throughout Kurope because of
her predominant military spirit. The
victory over (Germany has revived the
old ha'tred held by the French fin- that
country, and the war like spirit devel
oped by Napoleon in 17IM1.
"The" Fiench look on (iermsny as a
burglar at the, door, and feel that the
allies have deserted them, snd that
they alone must now sjsnd guard over
Germany.
"If we are to have peace on an estab
lished basis in Kurope. and commerce
and industries are to be restored, tier
many must lie allowed to have raw
materials in order that her men can
go to work. While I was in tiernisny
there were thousand of workmen idle
in Berlin and other large cities because
there was nothing for them to do in
the factories. America and tireat Brit
ain have realized this, snd are willing
to let (iermany have raw materials.
but France says no. We want the raw
materials for our eountry.
-The I'nited States is unpopular in
Germany, as we are in France, Italy
and all over Kurope, because they
blame this country for everything that
has occurred since the armistice, in
cluding the high cost of living. People
who have it are spending money there
as reclietslv as they are doing in New
York. Foreigners say that America
came over and started the league of na
tions and then ran away to leave it to
others to construct. President Wilson
is now without doubt the nioet unpop
ular man in Kurope.
"Politicians of high standing in l.ng
nd Kranre and lialv informed me
that it was probable the allies would t
have to recojrnire the Leniue govern-J
ment before Urns, a that was the only j
way trade could le resumed with Rn-

Nation-wide Campaign Has Been Start
ed to Enable Every Municipality
to Know How to Deal with
Its Public School
Problems.
New York, April 28. A nation-wide
campaign to '.measure service of teach
ers, school equipment and courses of
instruction." so that every municipal
ity may know how to deal with its
public school problem, has, been start
ed, it was announced here to-day by a
national committee compiled of secre
taries of chambers of commerce and
superintendents of schools representing
64 American cities.
On the ground that the public schools
of the I'nited States re facing a grave
crisis due to the alleged need of $2.
50tl,0(M).(MMt to provide adequate build
ings, and $H),fHHi,fH)0 for raising sal
aries to stop the increasing shortage of
teachers, the national committee says
that it is enlisting the aid of chambers
of commerce all over the country for
the purpose of acquainting every citi
zen and taxpayer with the facts.
The .committee was organized last
February at a meeting in Cleveland. O.,
raHed by Dr. (ieorge I). St raver of Co
lumbia university, chairman of the
eommiisinn on emergency in education
of the National Kditcation association
and the American City bureau. Officers
of the committee were elected as fol

The conference decided that the.
chambers of eoininene could render ef- ,
fective aid only upon the basis of a I
careful survey ' of local school i-ondi- ;
tiotis for the purpose f coniHiriiig
them w ith other cities, the idea Iwing ;
thereafter to enlist all community
force for the development of the pub i
lie school system. i
The first iittestionnaire sent to hsm- .
Ier of commerce anil superintendents:
of schools of all cities with a popula-;
tion of 8.000 and more, and which will ;
be followed by four other question
naires makes the following inquiries: j
"How much training do your teacher j
have? How well do yon pay your"
nehool employes! What special in- I
durentent do you offer the teachers in
your schools?'' Jjiter questionnaires
win a&K, among otner things: now
well do you bouse your school children ?
What is your educational program ?
How adequately do you safeguard the
children's health? How much docs edu
cation cost your city? How will the
rising costs be met ?'
The American City bureau hpre
which, with Dr. Strayer, initiated aud
is carrying out the present plants, an
nounced its desire "to make the main
facts in the present emergency quickly
available" for thiwe cities where school
problems are pressing hardest for solu
tion. The question of getting high
grade teachers and schooleniployes, he
said, has become a more perplexing one
than ever before. Many men and wom

graduates from these schools in the
I'nited States in Wttt than in 117.

have been employed; in other wor,ds,
the real shortage of trained and ex
perienced teachers is fully JO0.000. Thn
cost of living has increased at least SO
per cent in the past six years and yet
teachers have had a salary increase' of,
less than 30 per cent Rince"l!)14. Build,

boasting to a grocer of the cheapness
of 10 pounds of sugar he had bought

cheated me much, for while he was
getting the sugar I pocketed two tins
of condensed milk." Edinburgh Scotsman.
